LAST GAME: Ronald Acuna (4-5) homered and singled three times, driving in three runs and scoring a pair while Connor Lien homered and doubled with three runs scored and a couple of RBI as the Mississippi Braves ended a nine-game losing streak with a big 11-3 win a Hank Aaron Stadium. FUTURES GAME: After Ronald Acuna recorded two hits and displayed his defensive potential over the entirety of a Grapefruit League game against the Yankees in March, Braves manager Brian Snitker said, If somebody would have seen him for the first time today, they might have thought he was our [big league] center fielder. Though he is still five months shy of his 20th birthday, Acuna could certainly be one of Atlanta s starting outfielders by this time next year. The highly regarded prospect has drawn comparisons to Andruw Jones as he has soared through the Braves farm system. Acuna and right-handed pitcher Mike Soroka will leave their Double-A Mississippi teammates this weekend to participate in the 2017 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game, which takes place Sunday at 4 p.m. ET at Marlins Park in Miami and can be viewed live on MLB Network and MLB.com.
